Germany and France plan to launch an initiative that would be open to partners to create an early warning system for missile danger, a statement issued after a meeting of the German-French Defense and Security Council, said. The document is published on the website of the German government.

"With the aim of creating an additional early warning system for Europe, Germany and France plan to launch a German-French early warning system initiative, which will cover two elements - a space-based early warning system based on the ODIN's-EYE project and a network of ground-based radars based on the existing and future technologies," the document says. It says that the initiative will be called JEWEL and "will be open to partners."
